Earlier this morning on SportsCenter, Mark Schlereth was on set to discuss the Ray Rice debacle that continues to dominate the newscycle. The biggest takeaway from this whole situation is the across-the-board tone deafness on the issues involved in domestic violence, from the legal system to the public at large. Here we have ESPN and Mark Schlereth distilling all of that into one two-minute clip.Schlereth, who acknowledged he might not be articulating his thoughts very well, says he has never really confronted this issue before and gets visibly upset wondering how he'd react if it was his son involved. He is obviously upset with what Ray Rice did—"hate the violence"—while still struggling to reconcile that with being a football player and teammate—"but love the man." Which, fine; it's possible Rice's teammates are struggling with this whole thing and Schlereth can speak to the bond teammates have.Schlereth then launches into the disappointment he feels with the NFL's failure in "protecting the shield," which makes you want to puke, and gets all misty-eyed about the honor and privilege of playing football, how the League let the coaches, players, and fans down. Even coming from a good place, like wanting justice or for the NFL to do the right thing, it's still so misguided and speaks to the oversimplification and total misunderstanding of the issues at play. This is how we arrive at the most bizarre juxtaposition in this clip: Mark Schlereth getting choked up talking about the love teammates have, but keeping a stiff upper lip talking about the shock he felt as the father of two daughters and one granddaughter.You'll notice that Janay Rice's name is not mentioned in this segment, but Josina Anderson did speak with Janay this morning (after speaking with Ray) and reported that she is supporting her husband.[ESPN]
